| 14-Jan-2003 - |
Guilin, one of China's most popular scenic cities, played host to 10.97 million tourists last year, up 8.7 percent from 2001. The city raked in a record 4.99 billion yuan (about 601 millionUS dollars) in earnings from tourism, said sources from the tourism administration at Guilin, which comes under the jurisdiction of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. With a history going back more than 2,000 years, Guilin is renowned for its green mountains, clear water and strangely shaped rock formations. The city has also played host to many foreign heads of state, including former United States president Bill Clinton. In recent years, it has taken great pains to improve conditions for developing tourism. From 1999 to 2002, the city invested over 10 billion yuan (about 1.21 billion US dollars) in building and upgrading 60 major tourism projects, said the sources. Meanwhile, tourism authorities have also worked hard to protect Guilin's image among tourists. By stepping up joint efforts with the city's industry and commerce bureau they have cracked down on cheating in the tourism sector. |
